Lasers used to recreate twisted superconducting material

Researchers discovered a way to simulate superconductivity that occurs when two sheets of graphene are slightly twisted as they are layered, which could improve quantum computing capabilities.

Making a “computer” out of liquid crystals

University of Chicago researchers have developed a method using liquid crystals for computations, which could pave the way for applications in robotics and other applications using soft materials.
